2 Treatments/ To Work and Not to work.............

Hey all,
I'm still on a regimen of benzoyl peroxide 10% daily after I get out of the shower and scrub or before I go to bed it's put on whether I shower or not.(with the occasional missed days.) I had been using salicylic acid 6% (and 2% for a short while), and before that had used Benzoyl a for a bit on my left arm.
NOW, my left arm looks good, the best my arm has EVER looked, dare I say approaching normalcy. Nah, not that good.
HOWEVER, my right arm is still terrible as usual, no matter how much I scrub and how much cream I pour on.
I don't get it and it's frustrating the $%&# out of me because now I have one arm that I can actually live with and the other hasn't really improved. WILL I EVER WEAR A FREAKIN' TANK TOP AND BE COMFORTABLE WITH IT? Apparently NOT!!
Anyway, I would ask your docs about both of these treatments in milder forms and if anyone tries them, LET ME KNOW how they work for you!! I have terrible KP in general so on I scrub.................

Jazzy, I know you're frustrated, but I'm encouraged to hear that you've had good results with one of your arms. If you keep it up maybe the other arm will clear up a bit eventually. I've heard that you really have to be patient with KP treatments because they take a long time to work. I've unfortunately never been patient enough with any treatment, so I've never gotten any results from anything (except sun exposure -- and that only helps a little).
